Wow, the shape of the hat helps cool the rotor? I was wondering why they were like that, I just thought it was fo looks

The slots are supposed to curve towards the back of the car. The current set up is facing the opposite and will trap the gas. There's a reason why the slots are curved.

Have them change it.

Looks great otherwise.

That's not true. The slots should face what looks to be the opposite direction of rotation. This is to keep material buildup out of the bottom of the slot if it were to face the other way, which can cause shaking b.c of the unbalance of the rotor. It does not make any difference with way it faces in regards to it venting gasses (which isn't a problem with a street car with street pads anyway). The curve of the slots is purely cosmetic. The most important aspect is that the internal cooling vanes face the proper direction. A good set of rotors will then have the slots faced in the what looks like opposite direction.
